Probably. I'm just fed up with the bloke sitting opposite me at work telling me his bike has 60 times the power of mine so wanted to point out it's not bhpsrob said:

No exactly, no. Did work out (in fact I think it may have been you that worked it out?!) that they were built somewhere behind what used to be the Lindentree pub (now the Railway?).
The Monty's actually had a few runs out lately and is proving to be quite the star! My brother did 120-odd miles on it in Ireland in the summer without issue, and a local run or two.
That's not my brother by the way, that's the old man who was in Ireland too
